We need more info than that

We need to provide an expiration date for your cookie so it doesn't auto-expire at the termination of your browser. If you could spill us some code -- we could fix-up your errors. If you've got a link, give us the link. We cannot fix your error if we don't have the code that is used to create your cookie or even know what data is in your cookie or even if your cookie is a session cookie.

I already know that. I need to see your code to work any futher in order to make the corrections. Work with me and at least give me the Hyperlink to your website so I can view the source and fix the error. Even if you spill the full code (of the page creating the cookie) on the table it would be fine.

You can't view an expired cookie, because it no longer exists. If you don't provide a date for the cookie to last until, by default the cookie expires as soon as the browser session has ended. You will need to edit the code that is used to create the cookie so it will last longer for the next page to be able to see it. Using a querystring would be a much better method than cookies, in any case, because it doesn't rely on cookies being enabled.

If they run the file locally on their computer, then you cannot just simply look at the cookie created because it was created from a different webdomain than which created the cookie. For example yahoo.com cannot look at cookies on your computer created by google.com. Yahoo.com cannot look at cookies created from locally run webpages nor vice-versa.

The best you can do is make 'em submit a FORM to your server in order to get the information you need from the locally running page.
